Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qiao Xi was exasperated. “I won’t guess! It has nothing to do with me no matter who it is. Just go look for her!”
Xue Liang, who was standing at the side, was speechless. ‘Little Six, your brain is useless!’
Gu Zheng hugged her tightly, making her entire body lean into his embrace. “I only have one younger sister.”
Qiao Xi’s head was filled with sour thoughts when she heard this.
Gu Zheng even emphasized that he only had one younger sister? He did not care about her feelings at all!
Tears welled up in Qiao Xi’s eyes, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. “Let’s go! I’ll go look for her with you! I want to see exactly who she is!”
“Okay.”
The man had only said a faint ‘okay’, but he held onto her body and didn’t let her leave.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “Let go of me! You’ve already agreed to go look for your younger sister, haven’t you? Could it be that you intend to go back on your word?”
Gu Zheng’s eyes were deep as he stared fixedly at her, causing Qiao Xi’s entire body to tremble.
The man suddenly approached her, his voice gentle and low. “She’s right in front of me.”
Qiao Xi blurted out, “Where is she?”
“In my arms.”
In his arms?
Qiao Xi instantly came to an understanding, and her mind went blank.
Wait! Gu Zheng said that his sister was in his arms. Wasn’t that her, then?
“My junior is also my younger sister. I only have one younger sister.”
The jealousy and rage in Qiao Xi’s heart instantly vanished into thin air, and waves of happiness surged into her heart.
She lowered her head shyly. “Senior… Gu Zheng…”
“I’m here.”
Qiao Xi opened her mouth and felt her nose sting. She almost cried.
The two of them looked at each other and only had each other in their eyes. Lu Yan, on the other hand, stood not far away. His eyes were vicious as he clenched his fists.
Qiao Xi leaned against him obediently. Gu Zheng picked up his phone and found a few photos of the island. “Do you like this gift?”
The island was completely natural and free of pollution. It had clear waters and a blue sky. The environment was beautiful. Any woman would be tempted.
Qiao Xi nodded shyly. “Yes, I like it! I’ll turn it into a tourist attraction in the future. I’ll be able to earn back the 9.3 billion sooner or later!”
Developing an island would require several billion dollars, and the initial investment would definitely be larger. However, with Gu Zheng’s methods, she believed that it wouldn’t be long before he could make this island a well-known tourist spot.
Qiao Xi was already thinking about how to construct it in her heart, yet Gu Zheng smiled lightly. “I won’t develop it.”
Qiao Xi was puzzled. “Why? Could it be that this island has other values? Mineral resources or oil?”
“No.”
Gu Zheng put down his phone and looked at her affectionately. “This is your island. No one else is allowed to come here.”
Qiao Xi’s heart shook.
Gu Zheng said slowly, “I don’t need this 10 billion, nor do I need to earn this money back. From now on, this island will belong to you alone.”
As he spoke, Gu Zheng passed a document to her. It clearly stated the transfer of this island, and her name appeared on it, stating that she was the owner.
“You spent 9.3 billion just to give it to me?”
Gu Zheng nodded.
Qiao Xi was shocked. It was a gift to her, but she couldn’t figure it out.
Gu Zheng suddenly said, “I’ll fulfill whatever requests you want.”
Qiao Xi suddenly thought of something. When she was ten years old, Xu Mei had brought her to attend the birthday banquet of a rich young lady.
The daughter of a wealthy family was a year younger than her, but they had the same birthday. She wore a cheap dress with a cheap hair clip, while the daughter wore a dress that cost more than 10,000 dollars with a diamond crown. Her parents had given her an island on that day.
At that time, Qiao Xi wiped her tears when no one was looking and told her senior brother about it.
It turned out… he had always remembered.
While she was still in a daze, Gu Zheng gently put a diamond crown on her.
His voice was gentle. “I was going to give it to you on your birthday, but I was afraid…” He was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to be around on that day, so he gave it to her in advance.
“Little Qiao Xi, happy 10th birthday. I’ve been absent for so many years, so I’ll make up for it now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xi’s vision instantly turned blurry.
It had been ten years, not ten days or ten months. She had forgotten all about it, but he had not.
It was not that she envied the rich girl for having the island and the crown. She was just sad that no one remembered her birthday and her family didn’t give her presents. She could only hide in a corner and cry silently.
It was painful to be born and not be cared for.
